Upstream response to this issue reported on the maillist: https://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2016-May/083616.html Perhaps we only need to fix the manpages. Hi, it's up to you. If upstream remove this option, the only way is fix the documentation. My concern is, it should be consistent :-). Yes, we need to fix the manpages and have some sort of a warning for the users. Agreed. Please, fix the man-page and you can add description into doc field. Thanks.

Description of problem: Freeradius does not know Auth-Type = System. Older version knows it and it is still mentioned in users man page. # man /usr/share/man/man5/users.5.gz | col -b | grep 'Auth-Type = System' DEFAULT Auth-Type = System Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freeradius-3.0.12-1.el7_3 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit file /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize. # cat << EOF >> /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize DEFAULT Auth-Type = System Fall-Through = 1 EOF 2. Run radiusd. # radiusd -X ... ... ... reading pairlist file /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize[221]: Parse error (check) for entry DEFAULT: Unknown or invalid value "System" for attribute Auth-Type Failed reading /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize /etc/raddb/mods-enabled/files[9]: Instantiation failed for module "files" Actual results: Radiusd does not start. Expected results: Radiusd starts or mention about Auth-Type = System is removed from documentation.
